Between 1910 and 1915, Russian Futurist artists created a new form of art called zaum (“beyond the mind”) that fused words, visuals, and sound. Their hand-lithographed books emphasized “sound as such” and rejected logical meaning. 

Explore four of these unique books and hear 10 of the poems read aloud in Russian in a brand-new online interactive that also features Russian transliterations and English translations. The interactive is a companion piece to a new book about sound, image, and word in Russian Futurist book art.

Cover and poem from Mirskontsa (Worldbackwards), 1912, Natalia Goncharova, cover design; Velimir Khlebnikov and Alexei Kruchenykh, poetry; Mikhail Larionov, Nikolai Rogovin, and Vladimir Tatlin, lithography. The Getty Research Institute, 88-B27486. Cover of Pomada (Pomade), 1913, Mikhail Larionov, lithographer. The Getty Research Institute, 88-B26240

peregrine2017:

Despite our will to regularize time, the earth isn’t a sphere;
The orbit around the sun is elliptical; other objects in the
galaxy have an impact on the earth’s rotations and orbit,
notably the moon with its own particularities of density,
orbit, and variable gravitational pull.
(Sometimes second must be added to the atomic clock to
approximate accuracy.)
The earth wobbles on its axis,
it is slowing down.
It is farther or closer to the sun
depending on the time of year.
At The Lightning Field, I thought I felt its motion.

From Laura Raicovich, At the Lightning Field: An Essay, p.8.
